Worn Out Phrases

"At the end of the day" - Hey, things (some really, really good things) happen at the start of the day!

"Coalition" - How come we always end up carrying the load?

"Opinions vary" - I started it (here)... I should get to retire it.

I dont know creamed beef is trying really hard. He has fortitude for sure. Hes endured without becoming violent or crappy. That gets a thumbs up in my book.

A brand new phrase. It hasn't been around long enough for "worn out" status. Give it a year or two. :-4

Us bikers are skeptical and suspicious. So sue me. A simple request, that I'm hoping you'll respect. :-6

A request not to string those 3 words together......uh sure, kinda silly but no problem. And I would never presume to speak on your or anyone elses behalf. Its all I can do to think for myself.

"Outsourcing" - Translation... you're fired.

You know a phrase is worn out when it's reduced to letters:

weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and improvised explosive device (IED) - They are bombs. Period. :rolleyes:

"Ignore list" and "worn out list." There's a difference. I say we keep both.

"Drinking the Kool-Aid" (and related usage) - We get the Jim Jones analogy. That was decades ago. Get something new. Stop disrespecting the original Kool-Aid pitcher and Kool-Aid man.

"Yo Moma" I'm not your momma thank God, so stop saying that..

If I catch my students doing some infraction in class, and tell me:

I'm bad, they get detention. I dislike that phrase and it is not cute.

Speaking of momma's... no offense ladies but -

"Soccer Mom's" - There are no "Football Dad's," no "Basketball Father's," and no "Baseball Daddy's." There's plenty of room with mom, momma, mother and ma. Give it a rest, please. Respect the original titles, first.

Watch it Chipt.. I was the Soccer Mom, Soccer Aunt and now the Soccer Granny.. Your right it is worn out..

"9-11" - It's not a number. It's a date. September 11, 2001. Stop being a talking head for one second. Respect the victims memory. :-5

"here's your sign" yea I did say something stupid, but you don't always have to point it out

"the troops" - Soldiers, Sailors, Airman and Marines. They earned their titles. Use them. It shows respect.

Comment on Kool Aid-I never heard that reference before CB. (it must be the age difference)

And the incident is so infamous, it is one that is best not to forget.

Maybe another language usage in description may be prefered, but it was a horrible event.

I always thought the "Michelin (?) Man" made of white tires was kind of spooky. It's funny what scares you as a kid.

"Insurgents" - They are the ENEMY. No need to put them in designer suits.

"Coalition" - How come we always end up carrying the load?

Is it because its always 'you' that start it?

Do you get me? (often shortened to - Dya get mi?) :-5
